Active & Passive Exercise
Passive exercises are called as such because the muscles are moved by an outside force. These exercises help prevent stiffness in your joints, work to stretch muscles, and can help increase and maintain range-of-motion. Unlike passive exercises, active exercises require muscle exertion and body movement and help strengthen the neural signals that communicate with your body.
Strength Training
Strength training is proven to address the attendant risks that impact people at age 40+ – loss of balance and grip strength, loss of bone mineral density, heart disease, respiratory disease, stoke, diabetes, etc.
Dry Needling
Physical therapist use dry needling to release or inactivate trigger points by relieving pain or improve range of motion. Dry needling improves pain control, reduces muscle tension, and normalizes dysfunctions of the motor end plates, the sites at which nerve impulses are transmitted to muscles. This can help speed up the patient’s return to active rehabilitation.
Cupping
Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine in which special cups are placed on your skin for a few minutes to create suction. This therapy is used for many purposes, including to help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation and well-being, and as a type of deep-tissue massage.

Reduce Rehabilitation Time
Most rehabilitation programs spend too much time treating pain and too little time restoring function. A rehabilitation program with an emphasis on correcting body function will improve healing time and reduce rehabilitation time.
Maximize Physical Function
Decreased function equals increased pain. We will teach you how to restore more proper movements and in doing so, improve your quality of life.
